Trump agrees with European leaders to collaborate on Article 5-like security guarantees

Trump, alongside European leaders, agreed to develop Article 5-like security guarantees for Ukraine, signaling a potential U.S. policy shift. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff called Putin’s consent to these guarantees “game-changing,” a first for Russia, which historically opposed such measures. However, specifics remain undisclosed, raising doubts about enforcement.

A U.S.-European-Ukrainian commission, led by Rubio, is tasked with drafting a proposal, potentially involving U.S. air support. Zelensky insists territorial talks must involve him directly, rejecting unilateral concessions. Putin’s demands for Donetsk and Luhansk remain contentious, with no clear timeline for resolution.
